Does that bring back any memories? Strike a chord on the ol' nostalgia piano? It did for me, when the inimitable Final Girl posted this fond lookback on the classic Warner Home Video VHS boxes of the mid-1980s. The uniformity of their design is, in its own charmingly outdated way, totally fucking awesome.

Makes me want to grab up as many as can be had via eBay, and arrange them into some kind of giant collage, paying tribute to the mightiness of last century's home movie rentals...

This nostalgia-inducing post by Michele Catalano (and the comments that followed it) inspired me to check out 8tracks.com. I just created my first mix there, and it was easy as hell. Thanks, internet, for yet another interesting way to discover and share music.

About Me

I'm almost thirty, and will probably "forget" to update this sentence after my next birthday. I've been really into martinis lately, with lots of olives. Horror is my favorite movie genre. Whether we're talking crapawful made-for-TV garbage or soul-stirring foreign masterpieces, it's all gold to me. I like comic books, television, movie novelizations, and novels that were later made into movies under different names. I have very little money, I'm pretty mediocre at first-person shooters but I like them anyway, and I've gotten pretty rusty on bass guitar.
